Job 11:10

10. If he cut off, etc. If he pass by, and arrest and call to judgment, who will restrain Him? (Dillmann, Umbreit, Delitzsch.)

Cut off Pass by. The word hhalaph, to glide by, used also of the spirit in the vision of Eliphaz, Job 4:15, expresses the solemn stillness of the Divine Spirit as he moves among men, arresting this one and that one, and calling them to their final account. Not only in this word hhalaph, but in the whole verse, there is an evident, perhaps ironical, reproducing of Job, (Job 9:11-12,) who is there the assailant of God’s justice, but now its presumable victim.

Gather together קהל , is used for the calling together of the people to take part in a trial, and in the inflicting of judgment. The ancient trials were in public.
